As the a selected surface pattern or design in simulation fillers 5 are substantially cylindrical and of of damask. The pattern or design thus produced, greater thickness than the weft and Warp strands 10 however, presented'a flat smooth appearance inof the ticking, said fillers will give a raised or stead of a raised or embossed effect which was a embossed effect to the surface design or pattern deterrent factor from a sales standpoint in that on the ticking in simulation of high grade damask. the finished mattress had the appearance of As far as I am aware, mattress ticking has never being covered with ordinary printed ticking inbeen constructed in this manner. The ordinary l5 stead of having the desired damask effect. imitation damask ticking does not have a raised The object of the present invention is to proor embossed design effect owing to the fact that vide amattress ticking, the pattern-forming filler the fillers are flat and smooth and when woven of which consists of a core of natural yarn having into the ticking present a correspondingly fiat a binder spirally wound around the same to prosurface pattern effect instead ofthe desired emvide a filler of appreciable thickness so that, when bossed effect produced by my novel form of said filler is woven into the fabric to form a natural yarn fillers.
